Trails are in fair to good condition with a 3 to 8" base. There is ice on the trail after the warm up this week. BE CAREFUL.

Trail #9 to Pine Stump Jct/Holland Lake staging area is in good condition.

Groomer Lou & Wally reported Trail #45 to the Co Rd 500 is in good condition til Co. Rd. 500 where the trail turns Icy with some snow on top.

Trail #2/9 to Trout Lake and Eppoufette is in good condition over all, with a 4 to 5" base. We have got to the power lines at H-40, we will attempt to get through to Trout Lake as soon as the swamp freezes along the railroad.

Be careful on the corners as they may be icy.

There is logging on Trail #45 North of Skyline Dr. for 4 to 5 miles.

Logging on Trail #498 North of Co. Rd. 455, be careful in these areas, as the trail may be plowed.

It has come to my attention that there is no fuel symbol on the snowmobile trail map for the North Store. The North Store is located at Wolf Inn Jct. They are open from 9 A.M. to 9 P.M.

We need more snow! And cold weather.

TASA is in need of a snowmobile for checking trail conditions, and get to broke down groomers out on the trail. We would prefer a 2 up. Please contact us at sledding@tasatrails.com

The cerfew for the Village of Newberry is 11:00 P.M. until 7:00 A.M.

FYI: There will not be gas at Rainbow Lodge this year as they are closing for the winter. There is a gas pump logo on the trail map, but they will be CLOSED. The map is new for this year,and I recieved the information about Rainbow Lodge after the maps went to the printer.
